EU law applies directly
and indirectly to personal injury practice in the UK. With the referendum vote
to leave the EU and the triggering of article 50 in March 2017 it is necessary
to consider the possible effect that leaving the EU will have on personal
injury law and practice.
Currently, EU law has a
significant impact on the following areas of Personal Injury law:
·
road traffic accidents both at home and
abroad;
·
health and safety at work
·
personal injury arising from defective
products
This webinar aims to give
an overview of the current impact of EU legislation with a particular focus on
personal injury arising out of road traffic accidents. Consideration will also
be given to the consequences of Brexit on the current position and what
practitioners should look out for once we reach 29 March 2019.
During this session barrister
Adam Gadd of Pump Court Chambers will cover the following:
·
The law applicable to non-contractual
obligations (Brussels I and Rome II);
·
Right of Action against Insurers - The
European Communities (Rights against Insurers) Regulations 2002;
